Before And After

In recent years, many business education programs have focused on the development of competences, instead of knowledge transfer. For this reason, various innovative training approaches were adopted, including educational simulations. The increasing availability of the simulation resources also contributes to the proliferation of simulation in business education curricula. The chapter presents how the simulations were introduced in a Master degree program on Project Management, in project planning and controlling module. The Master program has a blended-learning approach, which nicely fits to the simulation requirements. The simulations are based on an agent-based model of the project resource leveling process, part of the project planning and scheduling topic. The authors made several evaluations of the students’ results before and after the simulations. The main conclusion of the experiment is that the educational simulations improve the competence development process, only if they are properly designed and performed.

Time delays and cost overrun are still a "scourge" in construction projects. The most important factors that cause these two risks are ineffective project planning and scheduling, and inaccurate quantity taking off. Thus, it is most appropriate to carry out mitigation since the project planning period. With the fact of increasing stadium construction in various countries, with iconic and futuristic design, and containing national pride, must be a serious concern so that the risk of time delay & cost overrun can be reduced. Because stadiums are like that usually involve a complex structural system, complicated installation technique with strict network diagrams. The M-PERT & BIM 5D - Based Quantity Take Off method has the potential to mitigate and minimize this risk. This study, with the RII simulation, reveals the critical success factor for applying the potential of this method, especially in stadium structural work. These factors can become a serious concern for construction practitioners, especially in Indonesia, who are and will build stadium projects. Keywords: Structure; Stadium; M-PERT; BIM 5D; RII.

Project Management Software

Planning and scheduling is extremely important role in construction projects thank to the increasing difficulties during this field. Construction Planning is that the necessary warning to Scheduling and determining general sequence, defining labour tasks, construction methods and assigning responsibilities, inappropriate planning can cause major delays with the project work. For the planning and scheduling work requires huge amount of  paperwork, which makes the management very burdensome. These problems may be solved employing a  project management software which helps to grant a planned approach to planning. Nowadays use of project management (PM) software as a tool for managing and organizing work has gained its importance in construction industry and continues to grow at a faster pace in other industries also. During this study, attempt is made  to check project management software such as MS project and Primavera and their feasibility is studied.
